I was asked by a nearby church to come to their big VBS program to share treasure hunting with the kids. Their theme this year was "the beach". The lady in charge knows me and asked if I could come share beach treasures with them. I have given many different types of treasure talks to many different groups so I was happy to do it again. I brought in two machines, two scoops, and my water pouch. I wanted to show them that I use different equipment on the beach than I use out in the water. I brought in a display case full of jewelry. In it was about 60 rings and many other ear rings, chains, etc…. I started by asking what they thought I liked to do at the beach. Then I asked them what were the different things that they did when going to the beaches or lakes. Their answers were swimming, fishing, building sand castles, picking up shells, and so on.
On the table I had toy cars, goggles, a can full of clad, a bag of pull tabs, misc fishing lures, sunglasses, shells, fossils, etc…. I wanted to show them that for all the different reasons that people go to the beach, I find their lost items. I spoke to 4 different groups of about 40 kids and leaders at a time for a total of about 160 people. There were many questions and it was well received. It appears they enjoyed it as much as I did. I can't wait till the next time I get to share this wonderful hobby with others.
